Abstract Comic readers are attracted to not only pictures of unique characters or beautiful landscape but also deliberated story. Understanding comic story is helpful for a comic retrieval, which allows readers to obtain comics suited to readers臓�� interest, or creative activities, which demand to generate interesting idea of comic narratives. Therefore, as the method of understanding comic story, we propose a converting method from a real comic story into a novel formatted narrative structure, which uses comic genres as the representation of contents of story. In a converting method, each page in a comic volume is classified into what genre the page portrays by using convolutional neural network. Generally, in machine learning, labeling ground truth on a large number of training samples is necessary, which spends much costs of time and money. In this paper, we propose a learning way, which supports to label ground truth on such many samples. The experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed converting method.
